How to Use White Boards in Dolphin 7.1

Hello and welcome! In today’s blog I’ll show you how to use the “White Board” module that is included with your Dolphin 7.1 website. Before we begin we need to install the “Whiteboard” module. A step by step guide on installing the Dolphin 7 base modules can be found here.

Once we have the module installed we can access it by clicking “Boards” on the main menu bar of the site. White boards in Dolphin 7.1 are created and modified from the user side of the website and not from the admin.

To create a new board just click “new board” on the right column. Now enter a “board name” and click “create”. You can also enter a password is you want your board to be private.

Naming the new white board

Now you can draw or doddle all you want. As long as you are on your board other members can also enter the board and edit it (unless you used a password when it was created). There is a set of editing tools at the bottom of the board that are similar to MSPaint.

Drawing on the white board

Done! Now you and your users can add as many boards as you need. These can be used for brain storming, business projects or just doodling.
